The following table outlines the conversion mapping and additional rules for the implementation of the SOA's 2005 Education system.

Additional rules and considerations:

Credits earned prior to 2000 will first be converted to the 2000 system before applying this conversion map to determine credits under the new 2005 system.

  • All candidates with the ASA designation will retain that designation. However, in order to obtain an FSA, the candidate will need to have credit for all of the educational requirements including all portions of the new FAPCourse.
  • Canadian and U.S. Retirement candidates should visit the Transition Information for Retirement Benefits track candidates web page for information on how the conversion rules treat Courses 8P, 8R, 8RC, 8RU, and the EA Exams.
  • Conversion credit for the DMAC module does not also give credit for the FAC.

Candidates with questions on the education redesign may contact education@soa.org.
